Its' Demo nail goods mini haul ♥

Chanced upon a cute little store called Its' Demo while walking (hobbling) in Central Park in Nagoya. This was one of the few stores I was able to go to that wasn't a souvenir shop or conbini^^ Got a whole bunch of nail goodies for a bargain!

Pretty heart-shaped cookies that have "thank you" (arigatou) printed on them!

Lots of cute biscuits and confectionery..
.
Also sells cosmetics!
Spotted the LE Dolly Wink Liners~

They had nail goods sets on offer, and what a great offer it was!
525yen per box of goodies!

Inside my first box, a box of pa goodies. pa is a Japanese brand that sells mainly nail goods, and all their goods are of great quality~ One sticker sheet alone is ~300yen, and the polishes 380yen, see how how much value the set has! All this for 525yen

Rose stickers, really pretty

White flower and butterfly stickers

Three bottles of polishes, mint, pink and gold!

Two bags of flat-back stones/pearl finish studs

Jar of pretty glitter~

Actually there are 4!
Though the other colors are a tad weird...but who's complaining!

Also got another box, not pa but just random assorted nails goods ~

This was what was inside~
Also 525yen for the whole box!

5 sheets of nail stickers

Pretty PINK HEART-shaped toe separators~

Sheet of red+white stickers

3 packets of little detail goods

Emery board and buffer

And a packet of beads.

I should've gotten more right!^^ By the time you read this I'll be on the way to Tohoku for the Youth Ambassador for Tohoku program. Right after coming back from a week in the mountains, I'm off to Tohoku~! Excited, though my sleep debt just keeps getting bigger...

Nail goods - buys and sightings ♥

Was surprised to see Luminous Change nail goods! Produced by Itabashi Rumi, an Edge Style model, I had thought that the Luminous Change line only had lashes, but turns out there are nail goods as well (:

These are crystal gel seals. Never seen this type of product before, I believe you paste the "crystal" nail onto your own nail, then use the remaining flowers/stones to decorate? ...Or something along those lines^^

Crystal gel stickers by another brand.

Lots of nail glitter, ornaments, jewels etc in Donki. Really, Donki is a paradise for people like me (semi-hoarders) who love seeing mountains of items

Tons of pre-made fake nails in Donki. There were even special sets produced by 109 brand Love Boat, though I didn't take pictures of those.

Beauty World (BW) Blossom Nail Cocktail trios in 584 Pink Berry and 586 Blue Drop, and Champagne Nail Cocktail trio in 586 Candy Pink. When applied in a certain order they're supposed to give a gradient with a gel-like glossy finish. Each bottle is 4ml. These were 548yen per set. Should I have gotten more?

Beauty World (BW) Dot Artist Set in purple (714yen) and Glossy Top Coat (458yen). I love this top coat! Like its name implies, it's really glossy! The finish is really smooth and shiny~ It claims to give the appearance of gel nails, according to the package.

pa nail polishes, the polish plus the scaly flakes floating inside give a pretty mermaid-tail-like nails (: Or so the effect on the sample fake nails seemed ^^ 360yen each.

Spotted these at the Daiso in Asakusa, a steal at only 105yen each!

Donki loots ♥


In the previous post, I introduced the wonderful Donki, so now this post's gonna be about the wonderful things I hauled from there^^ This is a combination of 4~5 trips to Donki? Each time I step in I feel the itch to try something new (´౪`)

Condensed version in the video!
First time shooting a video, didn't think the sound would be that soft^^ Yeahhh, my camera has a front screen so I'm actually looking at that instead of the lens, so, sorry if I don't seem focused!


This bunch is from my first Donki trip
They didn't have all the types of Fairy Lash at that branch.


Hada Labo bunch
Skin Conditioner, BB Cream and BB Emulsion, both in Natural Beige.


Hada Labo Skin Conditioner
I think this is travel-size/sample-size, it's 40ml. I've checked the website and the full size is 170ml, the refill is 150ml. This is supposed to be a medicated toner I think?


Nail polishes by Beauty World
Champagne Nail Cocktail trio, Blossom Nail Cocktail trios and Glossy Top Coat. I LOVEEE the top coat! It makes your nails super glossy and "juicy" that they really look like gel nails (The product description is "like gel nails")


Nail polishes by pa. Mermaid polishes!
The flakes inside make them look like little scales when painted on.


K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24h WP in limited edition PINK!


And as part of the Cheer Project it came with a CD with the campaign's song.


Side-by-side with the normal version.
At first I saw the Pink version in the normal packaging when I first stepped into Donki, so I grabbed one. But as I walked further in I saw the Pink version in bigger packaging (with CD) and they were the same price, so why not get the one with the CD?


Candy Doll Makeup Base in 01 and Candy Doll Concealer in 01.


AC Finishing Powder in Multi-Natural

This is Multi-Natural (for normal~dark skin), the other version's Light Natural (light~normal) I think? I got the darker version so that I can try to have a "tanned" look haha. Anyway I LOVE this powder, it finishes matte, no shimmers! (´౪`)


Produced by AngelColor, makers of popular karacon. (Colored contact lenses)


It has 30g of product and retails for 1,890yen. Not discounted even at Donki.


Color comparison with Chacott Powder. Chacott has some fine shimmers.


Chacott was also 30g for 1,890yen.


Samourai Woman Premium Rose Aromatic Eau de Parfum.
I don't know how they do it, but perfumes in Donki are extremely discounted, even cheaper than Duty Free prices! (Same for alcohol, it's also cheaper at Donki than the airport if anyone's wondering
(`・ω・´ ))

This supposedly retails for 5,250yen, but was only 2,480yen at Donki. Ferragamo's Incanto perfumes were also cheaper at Donki than the airport, I noticed because I bought 2x30ml bottles of Incanto Shine for SGD$91 at Changi Airport's Duty Free, but at Donki a 30ml bottle was 2,000+yen. (SGD$30+).

So if you wanna buy perfumes or liquor, go to Donki instead of Duty Free! You can claim tax-exemption too if you spend over s certain amount.


Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow in Light Ash and Light Brown.

Different colors for when my hair is differently colored. I actually wanted to get the Palty brow mascars, but I didn't buy them the first time I saw them, forgot which drugstore sold them, and Donki didn't have them (´Д` ) So got Heavy Rotation instead.

Eyelash Laboratory, aka EyeLabo lashes. Retails for 1,050yen, was 980yen at the Ikebukuro and Shibuya Donkis, 798yen at the Shinjuku Donki. Close-up pictures in my lash haul/lash sighting post.


EOTD with EyeLabo's Sexy Doll 002 and Natural Angel 003.
You can see all the lashes I bought in Tokyo here.


Toujours lashes produced by Murata Mari, aka Marimo.


Candy Style lashes, often featured in Egg. 198yen per pair!


Nature is Lovely lashes in S-1 and S-2, produced by Donki.


Rosette Face Pasta. Lifting type with white clay.
The other version available was the moisturizing type with seaweed, in a green tube.


SANA Hadanomy Collagen Mist! I LOVE THIS! (´౪`)
Just a few spritzes and it really moisturizes and makes your skin look and feel soft and hydrated.


Retails for 900yen, but was 698yen at Donki.


Limited Edition Dolly Wink Set.


Lash cases


Heart-shaped Hello Kitty lash case has a mirror inside and attached charm!


These have multiple sections.
The sectioner is a plastic sheet which can be removed.


A leopard-print case.


Limited Edition Donki-Exclusive Luminous Change, produced by Itabashi Rumi.


The ever-distinctive yellow Donki shopping bag.

Lists their website, www.donki.com, which you can visit to find out the location of their branches.

I know I've said this many times, but Donki really is a great place to explore and discover different products You really should visit at least one if you ever go to Japan q( ´∀` )ノ
